AW: [address-policy-wg] IPv6 allocations for 6RD

You should disclose your 6RD plans to pay less.

RIPE issues a revised charging plan every year. See here for
the 2010 plan <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/charging2010.html>

The billing category is calculated according to an algorithm
which is part of the charging plan. It is not that difficult
to adjust the algorithm to not count 6RD allocations since
they are a proxy for the IPv4 allocations that are already
being scored.

It is premature to claim that fees would be higher if you get
a large allocation for 6RD.
